  2. SINGAPORE – Hair salons and public entertainment outlets in Geylang and Joo Chiat were targeted in recent enforcement operations that saw 20 people arrested and six others being investigated. The police had raided three salons in Geylang on June 27. At one outlet, plainclothes officers caught women offering unlicensed massage services. There were four men receiving such services in this salon during the raid – the first operation at such outlets that the media has been allowed to observe. The men sat on massage beds at the back of the shop while the police questioned the women. Although they were allowed to leave, the men stayed behind, hoping to get a refund. Based on identity checks, several of the women appeared to be Singapore permanent residents. Shops like this one often present a typical salon set-up at the front, while the back contains massage stations with beds separated by thin dividers. The shop where the media observed the police raid had four massage beds, six hair washing beds, and two foot massage recliners. At least seven women were working there at the time. The Straits Times had visited this same shop in 2024, as part of reporting for an article on how, exploiting a gap in existing regulations. Under the massage establishment licensing system, at least 80 per cent of employees at massage parlours and spas must be certified in beauty therapy services.

PHOTO: LIANHE ZAOBAO Some vice operators have tried to sidestep these rules by branding their outlets as beauty, and hair salons. Following ST’s report in December 2024, the hair salon operator had posted on TikTok offering a $20,000 reward to anyone who could find illegal activity inside their shop. The salon, along with the two others found to be providing massage services beyond stipulated operating hours, are now being investigated for offences under the Massage Establishments Act. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/-295LYI-_sg The police also raided public entertainment outlets in Geylang and Joo Chiat on June 20 and June 27 to clamp down on activities like touting, vice and drug-related activities. A total of 12 women, aged between 32 and 50, were arrested for working without valid work passes. On June 27, the media was also taken to a KTV lounge in Geylang where 10 women were arrested. All were Chinese nationals. Customers continued partying even as the police raid unfolded. The police said one of the outlets in Geylang had fire safety violations such as obstructions to emergency escape routes. As part of the wider enforcement operations, the Traffic Police conducted anti-drink driving checks in the area. Seven motorists, aged between 24 and 55, were arrested for drink driving, including a 26-year-old man who did not have a valid driving licence. More people were with 1,778 such arrests in 2024, up 6.9 per cent from 2023. Drink driving-related accidents dropped from 180 to 166 cases in the same time period, but the number of fatal accidents linked to drink driving increased from 11 cases in 2023 to 12 in 2024. During the enforcement operation, a 48-year-old male motorcyclist was arrested for suspected drug-related offences. He had duty-unpaid cigarettes and e-vaporisers in his possession. Those convicted of running a business providing unlicensed massages can be jailed for up to two years and fined up to $10,000. Repeat offenders can be jailed for up to five years and fined up to $20,000. Those convicted of working without a valid work pass can be jailed for up to two years and fined up to $20,000.

  4. Golden Village Multiplex Pte. Ltd. has agreed to sell its Yishun 10 cinema property to Lion (Singapore) Pte. Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Frasers Property, for $48m. The deal, signed on 2 June 2025, includes a leaseback arrangement allowing GV to continue operating the cinema after the sale is completed, Orange Sky Golden Harvest Entertainment said in a statement. Lion has paid a 10% deposit of $4.8m, which will go toward the final purchase price upon completion. If shareholders do not approve the deal, the deposit will be refunded. If the buyer cancels for other reasons, the deposit will be forfeited. Join Hong Kong Business community An additional $2m will be paid to GV if the buyer secures redevelopment approval within 12 months of completion. The property, located at 51 Yishun Central 1, #02-01, currently operates as a GV cinema. The $48m price matches a recent valuation done on 28 May 2025. All applicable GST will be paid by the buyer. GV said it is selling the property to improve its financial position and raise working capital. The leaseback lets the company continue business operations at the same location. The property had a book value of $45.08m as of 31 December 2024. The sale is expected to generate a gain of about $4.92m, assuming the additional $2m is received. Approximately 62.5% of the proceeds will go toward repaying existing bank loans, whilst the remaining 37.5% will support the group's operating needs https://hongkongbusiness.hk/news/golden-village-sells-yishun-10-cinema-frasers-subsidiary-48m

  5. [SINGAPORE] Del Monte Pacific (DMP) is expected to take a body blow from the failure of its US unit, as the latter accounts for a big chunk of its operations. In a statement issued on Wednesday (Jul 2), Singapore- and Philippine-listed DMP said it would have to deconsolidate Del Monte Foods (DMF) from its accounts as it no longer controls the US subsidiary, which has filed for bankruptcy. DMP in June elected to skip a payment to the US unit’s lenders as part of a lawsuit settlement tied to a controversial debt restructuring. This led to the lenders appointing a majority of DMF’s board members, and 25 per cent of DMP’s stake in DMF was transferred to them. DMP said the loss of control over DMF led to the deconsolidation of the subsidiary from its financial statements. According to the parent’s annual report for FY2024, DMF’s US$1.7 billion of sales accounted for more than 70 per cent of DMP’s group sales. The group has been posting significant losses in its last few quarters The group is currently assessing the financial impact of this change, noting that its net investment in DMF was valued at US$579 million as at Jan 31, 2025, with an additional US$169 million in net receivables from DMF and its subsidiaries. The impairment value will be finalised following an audit. DMF entered a restructuring agreement with lenders and started voluntary Chapter 11 proceedings to implement its terms, securing a commitment for US$912.5 million in debtor-in-possession financing. This includes US$165 million in new funding, from certain existing lenders. A filing with the US Bankruptcy Court states that the company has both liabilities and assets estimated between US$1 billion and US$10 billion. DMF executed a debt overhaul last year, which became the subject of a lawsuit by left-behind lenders who said the company defaulted on a US$725 million financing agreement when it shifted the assets away from the reach of lenders. The strategy – known in industry parlance as a drop-down transaction – allowed DMF to raise fresh liquidity by borrowing against the transferred assets. The deal also prioritised participating lenders via debt swaps and created different payment priorities, Bloomberg reported. DMF said in a statement that the restructuring support agreement contemplates the company undertaking a going-concern sale process for all, or substantially all, of its assets. Financing along with cash from ongoing operations is expected to provide sufficient liquidity during the sale process and fund ongoing operations, as it intends to keep serving customers, according to the statement. On the Singapore bourse, DMP shares resumed trading on Wednesday after a trading halt the day before. The counter fell to as low as S$0.058, following its return to active trading at S$0.061.

  6. SINGAPORE - Cinema chain Cathay Cineplexes has received a statutory demand for $3.4 million in arrears from Lendlease Global Commercial Reit, the landlord of its shuttered outlet at Jem shopping mall. The cinema chain’s operator mm2 Asia said in a Singapore Exchange filing on July 2 that it has till July 22 to pay the amount. It can also secure or compound the said sum “to the reasonable satisfaction of the landlord”, the notice added. But if it is unable to pay by that date, it will be deemed unable to pay its debt. There is also contractual interest of 1 per cent per month calculated on a daily basis, from the date the money is due. Cathay Cineplexes is seeking legal advice regarding this demand. In addition, mm2 Asia said its own board is also seeking legal advice and will make further announcements when there are any developments. The Cathay Cineplex outlet at Jem mall in Jurong East closed its doors on March 27, after the cinema chain shut its Bukit Batok outlet at West Mall in February and its Ang Mo Kio branch in June 2024. At the time, it was reported that the landlord was seeking $4.3 million in rental arrears from Cathay Cineplexes. mm2 Asia said then that Cathay Cineplexes was “actively engaging with the landlord to negotiate and resolve issues related to the continued occupation of the premises and rent arrears”. It was later announced in May that Shaw Theatres is set to take over the 47,000 sq ft cinema space in Jem. This will be Shaw Theatres’ eighth outlet in Singapore. Mainboard-listed mm2 Asia was trading unchanged at 0.8 cent as at 9.56am on July 2. Units of Lendlease Reit were also flat at 52.5 cents.

  8. Golden Harvest closes its 4 remaining cinemas amid industry upheaval in Hong Kong Golden Harvest shut down all four of its remaining cinemas in Hong Kong on Sunday, including one that will not be leased to a new operator, leaving residents disappointed by the loss of another venue. GH Galaxy in Shau Kei Wan ceased operations, while Golden Harvest’s other three cinemas, Sky at Olympian City, StagE in Tuen Mun and GH in Tai Po will all be leased to a new operator from Monday. On its final day, GH Galaxy offered six showings across its two screens. By 5.30pm, the only sold-out showing was Behind the Shadows, a new release from June 12, with many empty seats in other screenings, particularly in the front rows. “To be honest, I am not so surprised to hear about the closure,” Jason Chan, an architect in his thirties who lives a 10-minute walk away, told the Post at the cinema. “First, there are fewer and fewer screenings, and then there is no staff working here – only self-service machines now. I can feel it is dying slowly.” Chan expressed his regret but hoped a new operator might take over in the future. Another resident, who identified himself as Danny L, said he would miss the “human touch” of Golden Harvest cinemas. He noted that the chain often hosted events where film-goers could meet actors and actresses, while he also appreciated the friendly staff. “I wonder if we can organise some crowdfunding to support the neighbourhood cinema,” he said. Golden Harvest has ended its more than 50 years of operating cinemas in the city. Photo: Eugene Lee Shelton, a logistics worker in his forties, referred to GH Galaxy as a “home cinema”, contrasting it with larger venues such as Cityplaza in Tai Koo. “That one felt very different. It is inside a big mall with bigger screens, maybe good for major blockbusters,” said Shelton, who preferred not to give his full name. “But I can walk in casually for this one; it is cheaper with all the good facilities. It is very affordable for some drama films.” The closures mark the end of Golden Harvest’s more than five decades of cinema operations in Hong Kong. The company announced last Friday that it would conclude its cinema operations in the city as the leases expired on Sunday. Cinema vouchers, coupons and movie tickets will be accepted at the three cinemas taken over by the new operator until the end of August. This month, the 56-year-old landmark Grand Ocean Cinema in Tsim Sha Tsui also closed, followed by the closure of another venue at the MegaBox shopping centre. The latter will be replaced by a new cinema run by CineArt, scheduled to open next month with an upgraded design and facilities. So far this year, nine cinemas have closed in Hong Kong, including the latest four and three earlier ones operated by Golden Harvest. In 2024, nine cinemas closed, two of which were run by the operator. Aside from all Golden Harvest’s branches, Newport Theatre in Mong Kok also closed this year, while the 37-year-old Grand Kornhill Cinema in Quarry Bay ceased operations in late May. https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/hong-kong-economy/article/3316290/golden-harvest-closes-its-4-remaining-cinemas-amid-industry-upheaval-hong-kong

  10. A two-storey, spacious villa with a parking lot huge enough to fit three cars— for some, such a lifestyle is but a pipe dream. But one Singaporean, Afiq Zayany, recently shared how he is able to live said lifestyle and earn up to S$6,000 per month The key? Working as a Grab rider. Earning about S$200 daily "Really meh? Sure boh can get S$4,000 to S$6,000 [monthly] working as a Grab rider?" Afiq directly addressed the scepticism in a YouTube video. Armed with receipts, Afiq broke down his work and earnings in the video. He works about six to seven hours daily and delivers about 25 orders during those hours. On average, Afiq is able to earn about S$200 daily. Screenshot via Ringgit & Dollars/YouTube Incentives On a random week in May, Afiq managed to earn S$1,283.20 before incentives With incentives, Afiq can earn an additional S$150 if he is able to hit 180 orders in that week. Screenshot via Ringgit & Dollars/YouTube Earning up to S$6,000 "I've been working [as a Grab rider] for about 2 to 3 years now," Afiq tells Mothership. He said that he can earn up to S$6,000 in salary when he works every day for the whole month. "I cannot tell you guys how much I earn like that (S$6,000) consistently," he said in the video. "If I take one week off, [I earn about] S$4,000. If I work 7 days straight for the whole month, that's close to S$7,000." Afiq told Mothership that there are other "hardcore riders or drivers" who earn way more than him. Afiq told Mothership that there are other "hardcore riders or drivers" who earn way more than him. "If you work like how you would at a full-time job, 8 to 5 from Monday to Friday, [earning] S$4,000 is the minimum." Tough moments, touching moments Like any other job, working as a Grab rider comes with its own hardships. "Every day is a tough day," Afiq said. In one video, Afiq said he travels an average of 250km daily as a Grab rider. "It’s either scorching hot or you’ll get drenched in the rain. On top of that, you need to be alert all the time. It’s a huge risk riders or drivers are taking by being on the road 7 hours a day. For some, even longer hours." Despite its hardships, there are also moments that touch Afiq's heart. "Most of the time, Grab customers are really nice and thoughtful," Afiq said. "Some even prepared some snacks and drinks outside their houses for riders. Really makes my day that people actually think about us," he added. Hard work pays off But hard work does pay off, and Afiq is able to prove just that. Today, Afiq and his wife are living in a RM1.4 million (S$424,600) two-storey landed golf villa in Johor Bahru.

  11. SHATEC, which has been training students in Singapore for jobs in the hospitality industry for 42 years, is reportedly closing down. It has already put up its campus building in Bukit Batok for sale, reported Lianhe Zaobao. Source: Google Maps SHATEC has suspended operations since 1 April An email sent by SHATEC director Margaret Heng on 27 March, which was seen by Zaobao, informed alumni that it would gradually suspend its operations from 1 April. The move was described as a “business containment exercise”. After SHATEC was taken over by new management in January, it was found that its existing operating model was “no longer economically viable”, she explained, without elaborating further. This was a “difficult decision” for the board of the Singapore Hotel Association (SHA), which set up SHATEC in 1983. The business containment includes reducing the scale of operations, completing the courses that have started and teaching the last batch of pre-employment training (PET) students. SHATEC campus in Bukit Batok for sale Additionally, real estate company CBRE has been appointed as the exclusive marketing agent for SHATEC’s campus, located at 21 Bukit Batok Street 22. Source: Google Maps In an 8 May statement quoted by Zaobao, CBRE said the three-storey building has been priced at about S$18 million. Its lease ends in 2051. Zaobao reporters who visited the building on 24 June found a sign outside its gate saying that it was for sale. When they called the phone number on the notice board, a staff member who answered said that the institution stopped enrolling new students in March. SHATEC campus in Orchard & The Sapling restaurant already closed When Zaobao went down to SHATEC’s Orchard Campus at the Singapore Tourism Court, it found that it had already shuttered. A Singapore Tourism Board staff member at the reception counter said the Orchard Campus held its last day of classes last Thursday (26 June). It is understood that some of its courses at the branch have been transferred to the main campus in Bukit Batok. The Orchard Campus opened approximately 1.5 years ago in January 2024. It was “designed to provide learners with an immersive learning experience, combining theoretical knowledge with hands-on training that includes professional-class culinary facilities”, said SHATEC in a press release at the time. Source: SHATEC The Sapling restaurant, which was run by SHATEC and provided an avenue for students to get a hands-on learning experience, shut down even earlier on 7 March, according to a notice on the SHATEC website. Last batch of pre-employment training students enrolled in Sept In Aug 2024, SHATEC announced that it would be making a “strategic move” away from PET, instead focusing primarily on continuing education and training programmes. Thus, it took in its last batch of PET students in September last year, it said, adding: This pivot will strengthen SHATEC’s position as the leading institution supporting the tourism and hospitality sectors in their workforce transformation efforts. SHATEC still reviewing long-term plans: Chairman In response to enquiries from Zaobao, SHATEC Chairman Loh Lik Peng said the institution was “in the early stages of reviewing its long-term plans”. The sale of the Bukit Batok campus is part of its “asset management strategy”, he added. However, as the review is ongoing, he cannot comment further.

  24. An SBS Transit officer got into an argument with a commuter after her son was caught fiddling with train equipment on the MRT. Stomper Anonymous alerted Stomp to a June 26 TikTok video posted by Yuanquan.sg recording the incident, which occurred on the Downtown Line towards Geylang Bahru MRT station. In the video, Yuanquan.sg described the situation, saying: "At the front of the subway, there's a little boy, I don't know what he was doing. He was reprimanded by the staff member next to him. "The little boy went back to his mother. The mother got into an argument with the staff member." During the argument, the staff member said: "Everything is recorded." The mother replied: "Why do you need to shout like that?" "No, he didn't stop, I tell him don't, you see he's still smiling," he responded. "Because he has autism, sir, you know what is autism or not?" she retorted. "I know," said the staff member, before being cut off by the mother, who asked: "Then why you say he's still smiling?" He fired back: "Now I know, last time I didn't know, I was down there, you are supposed to take care of your kids, you know. So my job hor, so I let you open, go walk next station, close down whole station for you." At the next station, numerous TransCom officers, including the staff member, are seen escorting the mother and her two children off the train. In response to a Stomp query, SBS Transit spokesperson Mrs Grace Wu said: "Our customer service officer (CSO) witnessed a child, who was on his own, trying to remove a nut from emergency equipment after he had unsuccessfully tried to peel off safety signage in a train carriage." "Our staff then approached the child's caregiver to inform her of the situation. "While his safety concerns were valid, he could have handled the situation calmly, and we apologise for the distress caused to her. "We would also like to take this opportunity to remind passengers who travel with young children to supervise them closely to ensure a safe and pleasant ride for all."

  29. Man catches wife naked with another man in car at Sengkang car park, gets hit when car driven off The man who was thrown off the car said he suffered multiple injuries. A man went to the multi-storey car park near his home in Sengkang to look for his wife after she did not return home at night — only to find her and her lover naked in the car together. When the lover attempted to drive away, the man tried to block the hood of the car but fell off when the car accelerated, resulting in injuries. The incident occurred at the Block 278 Compassvale Bow multi-storey car park in Sengkang at around 2:13am on Jun. 29, 2024. The lover, 50-year-old Chia Hiok Seah, now faces two charges and had pleaded not guilty to the charge of reckless conduct causing hurt to others, according to Lianhe Zaobao. Husband knew lover before the incident The husband, Wu Yongsheng (transliteration), was the first to testify for the case against Chia in court on Jul. 1, 2025. Wu said he knew Chia before the incident, as Chia was a friend of his wife, and he often chatted with her. He recalled that on Jun. 29, 2024, he felt worried as he could not contact his wife, so he went downstairs to look for her and saw Chia's car in a parking lot. He recognised the licence plate number of Chia's car, as he had driven the man's wife home before. Suspicious, Wu decided to record a video as evidence. He said he did not know if there were people in the car at the time, so he stood next to it for a while and started filming. As he got closer to the vehicle, Wu realised the occupants inside were naked. Wu said he tried to open the car door but failed, and asked the two to get out of the car, but they refused. When Wu noticed that Chia was attempting to drive away, he climbed onto the hood of the car. Wu said Chia ignored him and continued to step on the accelerator, causing Wu to lose his balance and fall. Severe pain from injuries caused The fall caused Wu to suffer multiple abrasions on his face, hands, knees, and chest, mainly on the left side of his body. Wu said he felt severe pain all over his body from the fall, and that he had blood on his face, shoulders, and hands. He called the ambulance and underwent surgery a few hours later at around 6am. He also requested the paramedics and the nurse to take photos of him, as he wanted to know the extent of his injuries. He said he was the only one present when he was brought to the hospital and during his surgery, he took photos to prove that the injury was not caused by himself. Wu then filed a police report after he was hospitalised. When asked by the prosecution why he did not call the police immediately, Wu said he wanted to save himself after seeing how serious the injury was, so he called an ambulance first. Due to the incident, Wu said he was given a total of 14 days of sick leave and returned to the hospital for the removal of stitches. He said he would feel pain in his toes during his recovery and would also feel discomfort after walking, adding that there are still scars on his face now. He also had follow-up visits with the doctor till October 2024, and cannot perform strenuous exercises. Top image via Lianhe Zaobao
